When they wuzn't any other.

And her eyes, afore she shut em,

BUSINESS WOMEN.
Some of Them Who Rival the X ings
of Finance.

Women who can make money can't al
ways keep it. Harriet Hosmer chiseled
herself into fame and fortune, invested a
large part of her earnings in Keely motor
stock, and lost it recently. Anna Dickin-
son made large sum as a lecturer and lost
it as a stage manager. Mrs. Bryan, of
Georgia, has charge Of certain cheap pub
LEGATIONS in New Y DIRK at salary of Sc, 900.
Mrs. Ann S. Stevens. at her death few
months ago, left a handsome fortune of
$500, 900, the result of her literary work and
profitable investments.
Not long ago the secretary and treasurer
of one of the largest street car lines in Pitts
burg was taken i'll, and his daughter, who
had never had any practical training for the
work. undertook to manage his business.
She kept the books in good shape, attended
to the collection of money. paid the EN-
ployes and bought feed and stock for the
company. Her father died, and she had
done so we'll in her official capacity that the
company thought the best thing to be done
was to elect the girl to fill the position per-
manently.
There are women of such great business
ability that they have proved themselves a
match for the very sharpest fnanciers.
FROM Cnlll comes the report OF one DOna
CousinO who rivals the financierS of all
times. She is almost as famous for her
charities as for her business ability. She
is one of the richest women in the world.
At her husbands death he gave her abso-
lutte control of his immense wealth. and
she has proved herself veritable queen of
finance. She manages her business. exhib-
iting great foresight, breadth of purpose
and great ability as "a manager of atfails
She has power OF control that can
direct and harmonic the different
branches of trade and business in which she
is engaged. She has trained superintend-
ent for each separate department.. These
she has the tact to pay well, thus binding
them to her interests. On one farm of vast
extent she has 400 men. Every house in a
village of 5000 OF 1000 is hers, and to the
people of this village and one adjoining she
pays out monthly from 500, 900 to $3.50. 900.
She owns the only large coal mines in South
America. From them she receives $50, 600
eaclr- month. She has copper ami silver
smelling works of great value and fleet of
eight iron steamships. All this vast enter
prise she controls and directs.

THE MOTHER.IN.LAW.
Some Reasons why She Should BIZ
Treated with More Respect.

1t would certainly seem that if man
truly and deeply loves his wife he should at
least respect and esteem the woman who
brought her into the world, who trained her
in childhood, watched over and guarded her
girlish years, and to whose loving care and
solicitude he must necessarily pay tribute
for making her the sweet, lovable being
who captured his manly heart, saws
writer in the Toledo Blade Yet if we are
to believe the funmakers, the mother-in-law
is the exact opposite of her daughter in all
things. She is ugly, the wife is beaut'f full;
she is cross and ill-tempered, the wife sweet
and angelic; she is everything that is de-
teStable, the wife is altogether lovable
Such view is not consistent.
Man is selfish being, especially when he
is in love- There are great many young
men who cannot bear to have their tiancees
or wives admired by other men without
feeling pang of silly jealousy Such a
man wants to be literally the girls ''lord
and master" She may not look sidewise
at any one else of the male persuasion, and
she is expected to burn eternal incense on
the altar of his own superlative excellence.
Such men are a thousand times more exact
ing than women usually are in this respect.
We all know the genus. There are plenty
of specimens everywhere in this country.
Given young husband of such dispo-
sition. and you may be certain that he will
chafe and frets and fume because he finds
that his wife is influenced in the slightest
by her own mother. He cannot see that a
loving and dutiful daughter is likely to be-
come a loving and dutiful wife. He fan
cies that he is deprived of some of the love
and affection that is his right as a husband
because his wife loves and respects her pa
rent-not knowing OF realizing, poor fool.
that it is different kind of love, and that
the two are not at war with one another.
There may be few cases where the
mother-in-law herself, hurt and stung by
his conduct, inaugurates a warfare upon
She peccant son-in-iaw, but in the great
majority of instances she suffers in silence.
That deep and holy mother-love helps her
20 accept Sights and undeserved contumeIy
for the sake of her darling daughter And,
a fact that must not be lost sight of, she
does not get jealous of the husband
because the wife loves him. She knows
from experience that it takes much love-
deep, strong love-on both sides during the
first years of matrimony to enable two peo-
pie to accommodate themselves to each
others peculiarities: and you will find that
the hints she drops in her daughters ears

knows that until Easter morning dawns to
show even hint of spring styles in her
attire is exceedingly bad form. She is
aware that to put on a spring hat before
that date is to commit in dress what would
be a solecism III language. She does
not even permit her eyes to wander
toward such emblems of the budding
season as make their appearance in the
milliners' windows. She is too far up in
the science of dress to fool her time away in
this manner. She has learned to give no

Giving the Teacher Something.

A certain young teacher in one of the
public schools suffers all the pleasures and
Inconvenience of being idolized by her
boys. The children demonstrate their af-
fections in various ways, and one of their
greatest pleasures is giving teacher some

SMYRNA.

The first Of the course of lectures to be
given for the benefit of the Maine Eye and
Ear Infirmary was delivered last evening at
the rooms of that institution by Col W. E.
Stevens. late United States consul at
Smyrna. Mr.. Stevens lecture took the form
of chat about Asia Minor and more espe-
tally the city of Smyrna, its people and Gus
toms. Smyrna is a city of 10000 inhabit-
ants situate upon the gulf of that name. 1t
is the centre of an extensive grazing and
agricuitural region and is in communication
with the interior by means of two lines of
merce on the Mediterranean. The non
ulation is divided into five very well
dehned and distinct classes. The
turks, Armenians, Greeks, Jews and Levan-
teens. Inc latter are the merchants of the
place, the Turks form the great body of the
inhabitants, and do most of the labor. The
Armenians, a shrewd race, nicknamed the
yankees Of ASIA" look after the CONNER
form a community of their own, over which
their consul has almost unlimited power.
The Jews are degraded caste and perform
the most mental work.
All classes are very luxurious and delight
much in display, and during the carnival
The people are very hospitable and unpro-
gressive, Smyrna is exactly as it was CEN
turtles ago. The city possesses the usual
characteristics of the East, dirt, heat, mar
now streets, beggars, mosques, bazaars and
earthquakes.
Thelgovernment is of military nature, tax
es and law are melted out without great
show of impartiality, but the resident consuls
are invested with considerable power.
The speaker gave an interesting descrip-
ton OF the annual religious festival at Mag
nesia which is attended by all good Muscle
mans from all quarters of the country.
The attendance although not large mani
tested great interest in Col. Stevens lecture
and at the close number of questions were
asked in relation to his subject.
The next lecture in the course will be de-
livered by DR.. T. A. Foster on "The House
We Live In" on February 7th.
